Is this the path to a tightly coupled distributed monolith?

It depends on your state lemon laws. Check r/BoltEV to find some local takes on what is provided.

They are following the letter of the lemon law in each state. In some states you can get back all the maintenance, interest and so on... in some states you get back what you paid (pro-rated for mileage). Texas has poor lemon laws, so we get some of the worst deals.

Once, I was trying to decided between moving to North Carolina or Southern California for work (there is a song in that somewhere). Both sides had pros and cons, and I couldn't decide.... So I flipped a coin. It came up Carolina, so I flipped it agin and moved to California. It was amazing how having 'decided' I could then evaluate the other oppertunity.

(And I think the Carolina business suffered greatly during the 07 recession, but I bought a house in Cali before the market fell... so either way was a path with struggle.)

I think there is a debate of when ‘life’ happens. And that more or less everyone is against removing life that has already happened (directly, not in an underfunding school nutrition and living wages sorta way). So the side that believes life happens at conception is literally removing choice from those that believe it happens at birth.

Ironically, many advocates of life at conception also are against sexual education and universal birth control, or in favor of promoting that abstaining from sexual relations should be the solution. This context makes it more about governing how women make choice regarding their bodies (in sexual manners and in conception manners) and largely insult men from those same consequences.

Please note that the law makes not allowance for incest or rape- so if one was a victim of these crimes, they would still be required to carry and deliver the child. A child in the case of incest that is likely to be genetically mutated such to lead to a life of suffering (for the child and those caring for them).

I’m not sure I follow, are you saying that there is a ‘anti-life’ group that believes women should be required to have state required abortions? I’m not being saracastic; I would like you to elaborate on the ‘anti-life / anti-choice’ group.

This should be titled "Confessions of a submarine, a hype piece for Humankind <game>"

Also, a state like Texas has no currently available child ICU beds, and is still have legal fights over if anyone can issue a mask mandate at the local level. ICU bed capacity only does so much.

Convincing a buyer to be a ‘payment’ buyer is an old trick in the car market. Don’t fall for it - always buy on price and then let the payments work out. With all the online calculators and soft pull applications (no credit hit, but accurate prices) it should be strait forward to figure out roughly what you can afford. If it seems like magic, it likely is.

The most powerful thing about jq, IMO is that is can alter some of the json without having to parse and convert to an object all of the json. It is like using data transformation lasers.

Range deterioration is an issue for uncooled batteries in hot climates. For example, gen 1 Nissan leafs were suffering in Arizona. But most everyone else uses active cool, which really slows the degradation. You can't really apply small battery (cellphone) logic to something as large as a car battery.

You should go plug in hybrid if you your 'normal' driving can be done in a 30 mile range. If most of your miles are on your property (and it isn't the size of a West Texas Ranch), you might could run a significant amount of miles on electrons and use gas for getting to town.

This is piece is a media company (TK News by Matt Taibii) whining about NPR whining about some conservative news show called 'The Daily Wire'. It then lists a number of articles / stories to show that NPR has an agenda and shouldn't whine about other outlets not presenting both sides of the issues.

TK News, by the way, does not present both sides of any issue here either. I guess it is turtles all the way down, man.

I assume that these are meant to be universally understood. If the tests were given in fishing villages, it may have been a much easier premise since much of their world is defined by the tides.

Key points:

Timeline for the report was the back half of 2020.

India and the US were the top requestors for take downs. There are new laws in India and some other countries regarding control of speech online.

I wonder if the US based takedown trends will continue into 2021 with the new administration.

I love R, and tidyverse is fantastic (to the point where you could say that I really love tidyverse and tolerate R). But why is this being upvoted/ posted here? Is there something new, or is it just new to some folks?

I think the difference is that you know that you 'intended' to put the money in the correct account, but the government doesn't care about intent, it only cares about what actually happened. Furthermore, I'm not sure that the free tax form should be blamed for your misattribution of your funds (unless it was prompted and/or executed by the form).

So, double checking everyone's taxes (a step you didn't pay for someone to do for yours) is a hard job. But without that work, the penalties would only be worse in the future. So maybe have a little gratitude for those taking care of you when you don't take care of yourself.

I’m not sure I’m following… are you saying that the wave functions are just a yaml for the behavior in physical space?

This is neat and all, but can you buy any of the systems? Everything was 'contact us.'

The navigation demo has no arrow. How do you know to take the turn? But club tech... yes pls.

The title of the article implies Wind Power is a disaster. But the actual article contains little to support this headline. There are a lot of numbers and graphs in this article... and some strange analysis about power generation amounts at different points in time (lots of potential for cherry picking here). But the money quote is this:

"And so we see what people mean when they say the Texas blackouts are the fault of natural gas, rather than wind: since no serious official ever expected wind to be any help during a crisis, it can hardly be blamed for not showing up when disaster struck. In effect, Krugman is arguing that wind power is the Ted Cruz of electricity."

Windy is temperamental. When it is there, it is very cheap.. and the Texas Energy Market loves cheap. When it isn't, we should plan for that and have some more stable sources. Even if we have to gasp regulate some of that stability.

Also: Check out the articles on the right for a understanding of the bias of this think tank.

But Redis....

Seriously, I've seen a monolith broken up into a microservice using Redis as shared memory. Didn't know it was an anti-pattern.

I wonder if you put enough sensors on the gun head, if you could map roughly where each zerg was in 3D space.... so if there was a set start point, a grease run could be conducted... in case not all points needed greasing up at the same time.

I'm not a customer - but I've seen screenshots of their app for doing just that, along with alerting.

It's ok... the Texas Public Utilities Commission decided to set the max rate to $9,000/MWh making the polluting power seem cheap by comparison.

I've read the Dept of Energy doc, and I think they were trying to make sure that power companies could pay for the pollution offset credits after the fact. Also, since Texas has a soldi market based power system, they wanted to make polluting power the least desired. Little did they know.....

The really messed up thing about this is the tax implications. The doctor gets a write off for his 'losses'; his tax bill it lower.

The patients are subject to paying tax on this as-if it were income (because they received $X of debt cancellation). Their tax bills will go up.

Refining oil takes power... and if you use (cheap) clean power to convert the rough hydrocarbons into refined gas fuel or other higher end hydrocarbons... you're making it pollute less (viewed from the lifecycle) and cheaper. So in a way, you're storing excess solar power in the gas, via reducing the need to burn gas to make more gas.

It is also over 10 years... so maybe a set of free equipment and $8 off a month?

Note: a traditional cable company got more than $1B is subsidies, so maybe the distributed model is actually cheaper. Depends on replacement costs and lifecycle (in both cases).

It likely won’t come to a vote. Then no one has to make a hard opinion.

Thank you. I’ll try to add a beat.
